Russian Cup Odds Explained  

1X2 Match Betting

This is the most popular betting market for the Russian Cup.  Here, one is simply wagering on the full-time result of a given match: 1 – a Home Win, X – a Draw, 2 – an Away win.

Double Chance Betting

This is a variation of typical 1X2 match betting whereby one selects any two of the three possible outcomes: 1,X – Home Win or Draw.  X,2 - Draw or Away Win.  1,2 - Home Win or Away Win.  This allows for a hedging of one’s bet.  In doing so, the odds will be lower than for a typical 1X2 match result odds.

Russian Cup odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to remember, but both revolve around the figure of NOK 100. First, negative numbers express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of NOK 100.  When one sees a negative number like FC Rubin Kazan to win at -300, this means that one would need to stake NOK 300 in order to win a profit of NOK 100, for a total return of NOK 400.  When the odds are above even, American odds format display a positive figure which expresses how much one will win when NOK 100 is staked.  For example, match odds of +400 for a draw means that a stake of NOK 100 wins NOK 400 in profit for a total return of NOK 500. 

For Decimal odds format, the odds express the full amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount.  Simply multiply the odds by the stake. For example, if CSKA Moscow is listed to win at 1.64, a NOK 100 bet would return a total of NOK 164 including your stake, so the profit is NOK 64.  A draw with decimal odds of 3.45 would return NOK 345 on a bet of NOK 100. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  So for example, with a wager of NOK 100 and odds of 8/9 (said 8 to 9) on FC Rostov to win, one would see a profit of NOK 88.89 (NOK 100 X 8/9) plus the stake for a total return of NOK 188.89.
